Community Alert - Vapers Transported to ER
To: UC Santa Cruz Community
All are strongly urged to beware of vaping products of any kind. Two students have been transported to a local emergency room after vaping what is suspected to be a chemical substance of unknown origin.
Call 911, without hesitation, if you or someone near you needs help because you suspect overdose and/or are concerned about someone’s health or well-being. Even if you aren't sure or don't want to get anyone in trouble, please call.
Do NOT just take them back to their room, tuck them into a bed, and leave them alone, as they need to be observed and properly cared for. You could save a life!
For support and information about drug use in general, either your own or another’s, please reach out to SHOP (Student Health Outreach & Promotion) at shop.ucsc.edu or to CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) at caps.ucsc.edu.
Sincerely,
Sue Matthews
